Heheheheh - shifter knobs make a huge difference. And I am not being silly here.

i think im gonna buy a new shifter instead of demodifying this one (the actual rod was bent to cant closer to the steering wheel for two handed driving and quick shifting) but its very notchy... i dont like powershifting with it because i always think im gonna break it

There's never enough money to build it right, but there's always enough to build it twice!

It's one of those things that has nothing directly to do with the raw performance built into the vehicle, but getting that squared away will actually significantly improve your actual performance

nothing yet... im still trying to get the car sorted out before really goin out there and putting on a show. still need a new shifter, new knob, and ive got to figure out a way to reroute the intake out of the engine bay and into some colder air with a bigger filter

Route the Intake and cone air filter into the Left Front Fenderwell area.How its done on Chicago 5.0 cars 8-seconds.
